Glabellum

Definition

The smooth area of skin between your eyebrows on your forehead.

Etymology

From Latin glabellus meaning 'smooth,' diminutive of glaber (hairless, smooth). The term evolved in anatomy to specifically denote this forehead region.

Kelly Says

Your glabellum is one of the few places on your face that's almost always covered in the same way across all humans—it's why it's used in facial recognition and why botox injections target this exact spot!
